There are a lot of tasks in TMP that are very tedious due to the verbose nature of the language.  Instead of macros, could we define a language for scripting template metaprogramming that we use in string arguments to template parameters that expand at compile time into complex metaprogramming behaviors?  Could this really make our lives better?
